@Archer where are you based? Would you take something like a service on?

I'm in Canada. I service these movements all the time, so you can PM me if you want. However please note that I am not taking any work from the US.

Yes, you remove the small screw and the rotor gib, and then the rotor lifts off.

I have a faulty 42062 crown which I recently pulled apart. The gasket is right at the bottom and difficult to see and I think it would be quite difficult to replace.

Its not a round oring, it stands about 0.5mm high and OD of about 3.3mm

You dont by chance still have that gasket? Im hoping you can measure as I’m hoping I can replace mines with one from cousins.
